So, finally we are close.

I have been unsuccessful for 12 months in gaining spousal permission to turn my road car into a race car, and locating a donor to chop up, add cage etc was not economic ...........

Then last weekend, I purchased this ............. all I need to do is add my engine and sequential box.

Caged, comes with M150 running an OEM engine (VVEL actuators removed and lift locked at max), CDL logger dash, 3 sets of wheels, FIA cage, R230 diff with 4.08:1 ratio and Wavetrac centre, full SPL suspension, MCA canister coil-overs and balance bar for the brakes. Headers and single exit 3" race system

I have a 3000km round trip the weekend after next to bring it home.

First event is April next year.

My 4-litre engine in the car and on the dyno late Jan. Will put the ITB kit on the currently installed engine to see what benefits it has back/back with the OEM TB before putting my far engine in.

Boner alert. So you’re running ITB’s on a DBW system?

Yes, I have a pair of Jenvey DBW actuators to run each side of the engine.

I can program the M150 for autoblip up and down shift with the paddle shift kit I have planned for the next iteration in 2021

Will you stick with the Wavetrack centre or get a clutch plate type centre for racing?

I already have a KAZZ R200 at 4.08:1 plus a Quaife at 3.9:1 so will try the KAZZ and Wavetrac.
Have never used a Wavetrac before

Vvel actuators removed and locked at maximum lift sounds interesting.

Got the car home yesterday ...... 2800klms round trip, 14 hours up and 15 hours back (nannie state insists that towing at faster than 100kph will see you kill hundreds of others instantly - "is dangerous son!!".

Will post some pictures of the VVEL actuator removal - looks neat - valve lift is locked in and ECU (Motec) controls valve timing as usual.

Car is gutted - have not weighed it yet (today's job), but claimed to be 1200kg.
